Episode notes
Giants Bet on Coaching Over Player
- The Giants traded up to draft Jaxson Dart, betting more on coach Brian Daboll's ability to develop him than on Dart's current performance.
- Dart showed limited progression in Ole Miss's simple offense, raising doubts about his ability to adapt to the NFL under a new coach.
Jaguars Break Trade Charts
- The Jaguars made a blockbuster trade to move up three spots to select Travis Hunter, a rare two-position player.
- This breaks traditional trade value charts because Hunter offers the impact of both a receiver and a cornerback.
Prioritize Physicality and Identity
- Pete Carroll values running backs who embody toughness and physicality, prioritizing identity over positional value.
- Teams should consider not just skill but the cultural impact a player like Ashton Gentry can bring to shape a team’s identity.
